The Bayaw Rapid Transit System (Bayawnese: ᜐᜒᜐ᜔ᜆᜒᜋ ᜅ᜔ ᜋᜊᜒᜎᜒᜐᜅ᜔ ᜉᜄ᜔ᜎᜓᜎᜈ᜔; Sistema ng Mabilisang Paglulan) is the rapid transit system of the Free City of Bayaw and forms a major component of the railway of the nation, spanning the majority of the city-state. The Bilog Line began operations on 4 July 1993, and Line 2 on 22 February 1999. The Sirena Line, meanwhile, was opened in December 2004.

The system spans across the majority of the city-state and has grown rapidly with government plans to develop a comprehensive rail network which has allowed it to become the backbone of public transport in Bayaw. In contrast to the overnight shutdown of most cities, the Bayaw Rapid Transit System operates 24 hours a day— albeit with longer intervals between trains during nighttime.

The three lines of the Bayaw Rapid Transit System collectively make up one of the longest fully automated metro networks in the world. The Kinara and Sirena lines are operated by the BayLink Transport Holdings Company, while the Bilog and Airport Express lines are operated by Bayaw Rapid Transit Railway Corporation. Together, these two companies operate the majority of busses, trains, and taxis in the city which facilitates for the full integration of all modes of transport in the country.
